The Maubeuge Factory: Excellence as a Trademark

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

This is a factory where a range models from various brands make their journey along production lines: #renault Kangoo, Mercedes-Benz Citan and Nissan Townstar. Here we are at the #maubeuge plant. Renowned for having produced Kangoo for the past 25 years, the factory has become the Alliance’s centre of excellence for light commercial vehicles. It is a perfect illustration of the mutually beneficial collaboration between Alliance members and partners. In this specific case, #renault, Nissan, and Daimler all share the same production lines. Through working together, the factory becomes far more efficient and competitive, which is beneficial for the customers. #jeanphilippedaveau, Director of the #maubeuge factory, explains more in detail.

Excellence as a trademark. Expertise, proof of the trust shown by partners, Daimler and Nissan. Having produced more than 6 million vehicles since 1971, the #maubeuge factory is an icon in French automotives. 50 years of vehicles sent to the four corners of the globe, meeting the needs of each market.

The #maubeuge factory has become the Alliance's centre of excellence for commercial vehicles, having been in operation for half a century, fostering 25 years of experience manufacturing Kangoo, and honing expertise in electric vehicles for the past 10 years.

Jean-Philippe Daveau, Director of the #maubeuge factory.

Three types of customers

The vibrant collaboration with the Alliance and its partners has given rise to renewed confidence from Daimler and Nissan, with new models produced together with the new generation of Kangoo basis and set to be available with electric engines too.

Thanks to our expertise in manufacturing light commercial vehicles, our two partners Mercedes (Daimler) and Nissan have renewed commitments. A major asset in fostering strong bonds and building high performance cars for each of our three customer types. It stands as testament to the excellence shown day in day out by each and every employee on the site, explains Jean-Philippe Daveau.

From SUC to MCA, iconic models that have left their mark

The history of the #maubeuge factory began in 1969. The Société des Usines Chausson (SUC), then a major #automotive contractor in France, bought land on the outskirts of the city where it set about building a factory. It started out entirely devoted to stamping shop and body shop. Painting, assembly, and finishing units were later created in 1971; the same year, the R15 and R17 left the factory doors for the first time.

Renault then bought out the remaining stake in SUC. On July 1st, 1981, the #maubeuge plant became #maubeuge Construction Automobile (MCA). More than 20 models have left their mark on the factory's history: the iconic #renault 12, #renault 18, Fuego, #renault 21 Medallion, and Nevada.
